Media & Sleep Paralysis Hypothesis - In most cases described in the video, the alien abduction story originates in the bedroom, in a sleep-like state. - This can be due to sleep paralysis - Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon where the person becomes conscious while their body is still asleep. - Person usually wakes up paralyzed and some may sense an entity in the room. All attempts to fight back with the paralyzation usually fail. - Comparable to myths in England (Old Hag myth) - The Media, through alien movies (prior to the film in 1990 s), promotes these superstitions
HOW IS HYPNOSIS PSEUDOSCIENCE? • Those who perform hypnosis often find people who will replicate their desired results (makes it easier when their subjects also want to believe) • It is easy to dismiss contradicting evidence that a subject may give during hypnosis • Hypnosis is a pseudoscience because it looks for results rather than the reasoning behind how those results were obtained • If there is no actual scientific understanding of how it affects the issue then it becomes a pseudoscience
WHAT IS IT? • Pseudoscience is the practice that is presented as scientific but does not adhere to the scientific method because of a lack of a reliable testing method • A state of consciousness where a person loses voluntary action and becomes highly susceptible to suggestion • Therefore, hypnosis is highly effective for those who have a creative mind and can construct a vivid reality around themselves from this direction
